Porsche 997 Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Replacement DIY (2009-2012 Porsche Carrera, S, 4S, Targa, GTS)

Keep the 997.2 content coming!

Michael, Great video(s) of the front and rear brakes. You make an easy job even easier with your great narrative along with superb camera work from your camera folks. On both videos (front/rear) you mention to check the outside and inside of the rotor for a ridge. However, you don't mention the wear dimples on the outer most part of the rotors, not all rotors have them, but the original Porsche rotors and the Sebro rotors I bought from FCP have them.

My rear calipers don’t look like this on my .2.

I like the Porsche content

Wives watch make up videos, we watch this

Curious. I see that the title references the 997.2 but the description only references the 997.1. Trying to figure if my base 997.2 needs the shims or not.

fantastic video, very professional

[@fcpeuro]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@gopherbar]

excellent video

[@jrhollaway]

Thank you!

Our pleasure!

Any adjustment to the e-brake shoe position? Would like to know how to properly adjust these.

[@fcpeuro]

Hi John, none that we did on this vehicle as it was fairly low mileage. The process is the same for most European vehicles with the old-style adjuster like these have done through one of the lug bolt holes. We could certainly add this to our queue next time we work on this vehicle.

@@fcpeuro thank you! 🙏

[@milliemone]

This was great

How do your rotors differ from the factory rotors ?

[@fcpeuro]

Founded in Germany, Otto Zimmermann has been developing, producing, and selling braking components for more than six decades. Zimmermann offers OE quality rotors for every European make including Audi, BMW, Porsche, and VW.

[@hagrdan]

Using the brake spreader wasn't shown. Are you able to get the pistons all the way back by prying? Wondering which spreader to buy, if any.

[@fcpeuro]

Hey Dude, the pistons went back far enough with prying. A good spreader for this DIY would be LIS-29100.

[@hagrdan]

@@fcpeuro Thank you, I just finished and found I also didn't need the spreader, I used 2 small pry bars. Folks watching--don't forget to watch your brake fluid reservoir level. Thank you!

[@kamatchoooo]

Do you recommend this zimmermann rotor or would I go with OEM ,I have 997.2 turbo and I don’t want to reduce the brake efficiency thank you

[@fcpeuro]

You cannot go wrong with either of the options we offer on FCPEuro.com. We will always go Zimmermann over Genuine.

[@MrAndyS]

Hi does the handbrake need manually adjusting or does it set itself ? Thanks.

[@fcpeuro]

It is a manual adjustment on the 997 models!

[@AK-li2rj]

are there any big differences for a 997.1?

[@fcpeuro]

Same idea for the .1!

[@AK-li2rj]

@@fcpeuro Much appreciated 🙏 got it done this weekend with help from your video and saved myself some money!

[@dmeh9836]

No anti seize or loctite?

[@fcpeuro]

Meh, not for these style brakes.

[@thehpw]

Im I the only one who spends like 20 minutes detailing each caliper?
